July 16, 2012

Madison Parks Day at the Duck Pond TODAY!

In celebration of National Parks and Rec month, join the Madison Parks Division and the Madison Mallards on Monday, July 16th as we celebrate our treasured parks.

Come down to Goodman Pool from noon – 1p.m. and meet some of the Mallards players, meet Maynard and have a chance to win tickets to that night’s game!

In the evening, join us at the Duck Pond as we celebrate Madison’s beautiful parks, watch some great baseball, and have fun!

The game starts at 7:05p.m., but before the game, bring the kids down for a (mini) Big Rig Gig – an opportunity see, touch and crawl around in some of the big trucks, tractors, and bull dozers the Parks employees use to build and maintain our parks. Cheer on members of the Goodman Pool Waves Swim Team as they receive the proceeds of the Rubber Ducky River Race earlier this year and wish them luck at the All-City Swim Meet. Watch a Parks Division representative and Goodman Waves swim team member throw the first pitch.  Join the Madison Parks staff as they sing ‘Take Me Out to Ballgame’ and then test your knowledge of our parks with Madison Parks trivia!

New in 2012, the Meriter and Physicians Plus Backyard seating area behind left-center field has grass seating area for 400-500 people, an elevated field level view of the game, and a great family atmosphere! Tickets for the Backyard are $8 per person, with $1 of every ticket sold donated to the Madison Parks Foundation, the YMCA of Dane County, and the Boys & Girls Club of Dane county. Come on down to the Duck Pond for great baseball and a great cause! Bring the whole family down to the Duck Pond on Madison Parks Night to celebrate Madison’s parks, support the Waves Swim team and of course, cheer on our Madison Mallards!
